Ted's River Song Lyrics - Singles - Fighting Gravity

(Lyrics, Music: Peterson, Triano) 

You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think I would oblige 

and if I tied my tongue together, smelled a rose and fell right on my 

nose 

Would it be the same, should I know your name 

Could you stay for just a while? 

You, when I float downstream, buy the dream and touch the stream, I 

think it would redeem 

and if we drift away together filled our souls and lost all we control 

Would it disagree, should I wish to be? 

Could you guarantee a while 

(Refrain) 

And help me down from this rope I'm walking 

such a long, long way to fall 

and if I see the edge of the morning 

I got no expectations at all 

so dance with me tonight 

Look at the sky, don't lie, just, just tell me now if I should say 

goodbye 

Fortunate child, so wild, like the river washes sinners reconciled 

Would it fall apart, should I close my heart? 

Could you hold me for a while 

(Refrain) 

We're alive...we are 

I can see all around me 

You, when I close my eyes, open my eyes, realize, I think we can surmise 

and if I'm gone too long, this song is all I've got to right this wrong 

Would it end the same, should I save your name? 

Would you laugh with me a while 

(Refrain) 

Like the breath of the night we all slip away
